Hello everyone, I'm planning to assemble a gaming PC on a budget and need your advice. Should I choose the H410 motherboard or skip it? I want to grasp why it's often overlooked in discussions. I plan to use just one PCIe slot for the graphics card, which shouldn't be a major problem for me. My specs are: 1080p at 60 FPS, no overclocking. Below are some price options based on what's available in India today:

- i310100 (100$) + MSI H410M Pro VH (75$) = 175$
- i310100 (100$) + MSI B460M MORTAR (125$) = 225$
- Ryzen3 3100 - currently out of stock (200$)
- Ryzen3 3300X (200$) + MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX (150$) = 350$
- ASUS PRIME-B450M-K (98$)

Additionally, a BIOS update is something I need to consider. I already have a 650W power supply, an MSI RX 570 graphics card, case, SSD, and HDD. What do you think?

The MSI H410M Pro VH is suitable for this setup—it offers strong storage options with six USB ports and handles an i3 10100 well. It remains a reliable choice even if you consider future upgrades.

For the 10100, a solid choice is the B460, offering improved performance for future upgrades. If you have funds available, consider the B460 as a more capable option.
